Chapter 7 Effects
Think of an effect as a sequential series of lighting steps which contain time
attributes like cues but also can contain patterns. The content of an effect is
determined by the elements assigned to each of its steps and the attributes
defined for each step. Each effect step contains up to ten elements and
these elements may include individual channels, device traits, submasters,
groups or cues.
Effects are created from the Effect sub-display of the Stage or Preview
displays.
